Firefighters from Grosse Pointe City, Grosse Pointe Farms and Grosse Pointe Park battle a three-alarm fire that ripped through a home in the 400 block of Lincoln Road in Grosse Pointe City June 3.

FARMS — The discovery of a pipe bomb at Pier Park in Grosse Pointe Farms the morning of June 2 led to a complete shutdown of the park as multiple law enforcement agencies converged on the scene to check for any other explosive devices. According to a police report, a Pier Park employee discovered an unexplained metal object in a flowerbed east of the gatehouse at around 11 a.m. June 2. The bomb was found in an area inside the park, near the pedestrian drop-off area, so it’s believed to be unlikely that it was tossed there by a passing motorist on Lake Shore Road. The employee showed it to a fellow park worker, who suspected that the object — described as being about 5 inches long and an inch in diameter — was a pipe bomb, although he didn’t see a fuse. Concerned about possible safety issues, the second employee took the object with him, drove it in his Cushman vehicle to the eastern side of the park and threw the object into Lake St. Clair. Police were called, as were K-9 units and the Michigan State Police bomb squad. The MSP bomb squad arrived at approximately 12:50 p.m. and combed the area of the lake where the device had been tossed with a magnet and a rope. After about 40 minutes of unsuccessful searching and the magnet getting stuck to the metal breakwall, a Farms Public Safety supervisor activated the depart-

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

Early Cancer Detection Made Possible: Michigan’s First MRI Total Body Screening Clinic Now Open in Southfield, Pioneering Symptom-Free Diagnosis. I’ll never forget the words of a patient who recently completed a total body cancer screening with me: ‘Doc, you saved my life!’ Despite having no symptoms, we discovered a tiny tumor lurking and growing inside of him. Without early detection, the mass could have silently grown into late-stage cancer, leading to excruciating treatments and a potentially dire outcome. Thanks to the power of early detection, cancer was discovered before it was too late. It’s moments like these that are precisely why total body screening saves lives. As a general rule, when someone presents to the doctor with a symptom related to cancer, they are usually at stage III or stage IV. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screening tests that are covered by insurance companies only cover about 29% of cancers. The other 71% of cancers occur in areas where doctors are unable to screen, and insurance companies will not pay for screening. This is where Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield can save lives. I am Dr. Warren Ringold, and last month marked the fifth anniversary of the day my life changed forever. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in my chest and

abdomen. The most alarming part is that I had no symptoms before this diagnosis. This is the great dilemma of cancer: the need for early detection. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and cancer needs to be detected when it is most treatable. My personal stage IV cancer journey has been long and rugged. My tumor eventually was recurrent in my brain after an initial seven months of chemotherapy. I have been extraordinarily lucky. After being told that I would live only two months without treatment on my brain, I was fortunate enough to become patient number one in a new drug study and I have been in remission 5 to 8 times longer than expected. During that time, instead of ending up with the indignation of dying, from a brain tumor in front of my family with seizures and eventual blindness, I have been able to see twins, born as grandchildren, ball games, swim meets, graduations, while watching my grandchildren and children achieve. Most importantly, I’ve gotten to hold my wife, Nancy, in my arms for more than 1500 more nights of my life. I get to hug my children and kiss my 13 grandchildren. They don’t have to look at me with tears in their eyes, because

Dr. Warren Ringold, M.D. they see Papa deteriorating. What a gift that has been. But very few patients are as fortunate as I have been, which is why I founded Bionicc Body Screening. At Bionicc Body Screening, we can screen for cancer from the top of the head through the genitals, detecting cancers as small as the size of a pencil eraser. We use highly advanced and sophisticated MRI screening, which can find small cancers in areas where doctors cannot order testing that will be covered by insurance. The irony is that these cancers start out very small, and they are very treatable at this stage. They are usually stage one and can be seen in

every organ of the body, including the dreaded pancreas. While screening for cancer, we can also find many other things that need to be treated or watched, such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms. If detected at this stage, treatment for stage one cancer is usually simple resection of a tumor. Unfortunately, if you are stage III or IV like most people, it results in vigorous and difficult treatment with much poorer outcomes. It is unfortunate that some patients resist screening due to fear. Despite their desire to take the test, they unnecessarily delay it out of fear of receiving potentially distressing news about their health. Giving in to fear can only make matters worse and potentially allow undetected health problems to spiral out of control. Don’t put off your screening any longer. Ask yourself, when is a better time to take action than right now? Don’t wait another 6 months or even another day. Prioritize your health and get screened today. The only regret patients have is that they waited. Don’t wait. Get a total body cancer screening today.

Revolutionary vehicles are focus of 2023 EyesOn Design car show

MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY ON MACKINAC ISLAND BY GREG TASKER Spending a day on Mackinac Island is a rite of summer for many Michiganders. But most of us, I’m betting, aren’t making the most of that day. We scurry off the ferries right into the heart of downtown Mackinac Island, rent a bicycle for the traditional loop around the island, and then spend a few hours searching for souvenirs and fudge. We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock. While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native Ameri-

SHORES — Car design afficionados and children taking their dads out for Father’s Day will be among those enjoying the remarkable vehicles on display during the 36th annual EyesOn Design from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 18 on the grounds of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. Vehicles are included by invitation only. EyesOn Design was ranked by USA Today as the fifth-best car show in the United States, out of more than 300 such shows, said Dr. Philip Hessburg, the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology’s medical director. He said the show attracts car collectors and designers from around the world, and he credits the automotive design world with making EyesOn Design as prestigious and exciting as it is today. “Most people in Grosse Pointe, St. Clair Shores, Harper Woods — most people (in the immediate area) do not know what a major event this has turned into,” Hessburg said. EyesOn Design Chair Kathy Pecar Lightbody agreed.

Sign of the times as former Beaumont gets temporary Corewell sign BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

CITY —To paraphrase a Bob Dylan song, the signs, they are a-changin’. Along with a new name, the former Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, is getting a new sign. Until permanent signs can be created and installed, the hospital, located at 468 Cadieux Road, is getting a temporary banner sign that will read “Corewell Health: The new name to Beaumont.” The Grosse Pointe City Council voted unanimously to approve the temporary banner during a May 8 meeting. Associate City Planner Gage Belko, of McKenna Associates, said the City typically prohibits banner signs, which is one of the reasons why the council had to approve the proposal. “We’re not opposed to this sign being there, at least temporarily. … It’s facing Jefferson (Avenue), but it’s really far back (from the road),” Belko said. While the new banner is 63.8 square feet, it’s replacing a larger Beaumont ban-

ner sign that has been in the same place on the hospital for some time, despite having apparently never been reviewed by the City Council or administrators. “It just got there,” City Councilman Donald Parthum Jr. said. “It was never approved.” Given that the new sign will be significantly smaller, “This is an improvement,” Parthum said. The temporary banner sign is expected to be in place for roughly nine months. While Beaumont had a master sign plan in place with the City, Belko said Corewell officials will need to meet with the planners and administrators to come up with a new master sign plan, as new signs are expected for the hospital campus overall to reflect the name change. Belko said Corewell has until the end of the year to come up with this sign plan. Andrew Castillo, project manager of Signworks of Michigan, said the banner would be hung within the next month or so. Castillo said they need to have the temporary sign up for about nine months because of the amount of time it’s expected to

take to design and produce new signs for the hospital. At press time, he said they were “still coming up with designs” for the Grosse Pointe facility to “make sure (they’re) aesthetically pleasing.” “That’s the only place Corewell is going to put their name at the moment?” City Councilwoman Maureen Juip asked of the

banner. Castillo said yes, for now, until the new permanent signs can be created and installed. City officials said that if the new proposed permanent Corewell signs fit within the confines of existing Beaumont signage, they could be approved administratively, without having to go before the council again.

Mackinac from page 3A

So how do you make the most of a day trip to the island, which was recently named Best Summer Travel Destination in the country by USA Today readers. Here’s a loose itinerary to make sure you enjoy the highlights.

9 a.m. — Join a horse-driven tour with Mackinac Island Carriage Tours

This might seem like a no-brainer, but it wasn’t until my third trip to Mackinac that I hopped aboard. What a difference. It’s a leisurely and nearly two-hour excursion that provides a better sense of the island. There are several stops, so you can get off and explore. The company bills itself as the oldest horse and buggy service in the world.

11 a.m. — Explore Fort Mackinac

Perched atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, the limestone fort is a one-of-a-kind attraction in Michigan. Costumed interpreters offer rifle-firing demonstrations and tours, sharing the stories of the Revolutionary War-era fortress. Exhibits share the island’s role in the War of 1812. For a unique experience, make a reservation to shoot an authentic cannon. Cap your visit with refreshments at the Fort Mackinac Tea Room. Run by the Grand Hotel, the Tea Room boasts some of the best views on the island. Other lunch options: For a more casual break, order a picnic from the Mission Point Picnic Society. Customers select their own fare, everything from crackers and cheese to dips and charcuteries to sandwiches and salads. Lunch sacks also are available. Spread your picnic on Mission Point Resort’s expansive lawn overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Other options include grabbing prepared foods at Doud’s Market, the island’s only grocer, run by descendants of the aforementioned Patrick Doud. The island is home to a variety of restaurants, most of them can be found along Main Street.

1 p.m. — Rent that bicycle

Bike rentals can be found along the village’s Main Street and at some hotels. It’s an 8-mile trek around the island and you can pedal at your own pace. If the views of the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge aren’t enough to lure you away from the shops, the M-185 loop (it’s an official state highway) passes landmarks like Arch Rock, an unusual rock formation that stands nearly 15 stories high above Lake Huron.

3 p.m. — Grand Hotel

It is well worth the short uphill walk from downtown to the Grand, among the last of the big wood-frame hotels in the country. For $10, you can explore the venerable hotel and the grounds. Take time to secure a white wooden rocking chair on the front porch, the world’s longest, and breathe in the mesmerizing views. The public is welcome to join activities (for a fee) at the Woodlands Activity Center, which includes an 18-hole miniature golf course, and the Cedar Grove Bike Track. Ask about the hotel’s Secret Garden.

5 p.m. — Downtown Mackinac Island

Spend some time shopping. You won’t miss the ferries back to the mainland — they leave later in the evening during the peak of summer. Fudge shops here are almost as plentiful as hotels. There’s even a Sanders (btw, you can still find Sanders ice cream toppings here). If you have children, be sure to check out the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House, where hundreds of butterflies, from around the world, flutter and amuse. I passed through recently with a 3-year-old in tow. She was mesmerized. Before leaving, stop by the Pink Pony (inside the Chippewa Hotel), one of the island’s most famous bars, and toast its 75th anniversary. Cheers. Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer. Greg’s articles focused on northern Michigan travel will appear in C & G Newspapers during the summer.

‘It’s about the road trip’ BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Each time Karen E. Breen travels in her 1978 GMC Royale motor home, it attracts a crowd. “There’s a lot of excitement. It’s an attention-getter no matter where I go,” Breen said. “The minute I pull into a campground, I’m approached by young kids and older people. Everyone gives a thumbs-up. People get their cameras out. You can’t be an introvert and own a GMC.” Breen purchased the 1978 model in 2016. The Birmingham resident is the fifth owner of the 26-foot-long vintage vehicle, which has logged miles upon miles of adventures. “It’s about the road trip,” Breen said. “It’s about the experience.” Since getting the keys to her own RV, Breen has hit the open road with good friends traveling to New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia and Cleveland. There are some favorite spots up north Breen likes to visit, and she has two trips on her bucket list: Route 66 and U.S. Highway 89 through seven national parks. The ardent traveler always tries to find a campsite in which the RV’s bedroom faces the water. Not one to stay idle, Breen finds various activities, such as hiking or checking out lighthouses, when traveling. A profes-

sional photographer, Breen takes plenty of snapshots of the spots she visits. Breen keeps a journal of each road trip by tracking the date, starting point, time of day, mileage and destination. The GMC motor home has everything needed to hit the open road. It’s equipped with all the original appliances — refrigerator, stove and microwave. The walnut cabinets provide warmth. The dinette table located near the front of the vehicle can be made into a bed. The sleeping area can accommodate a large bed, or be rearranged to make bunk beds. Breen has decorated the RV to make it “comfortable and cozy.” A white, fuzzy throw blanket, for instance, fits snuggly on the back of the booth dinette and a Lucite table provides a bit of home. There is a bar area for a favorite cocktail and an espresso coffee maker. Control panels adjust the RV’s systems for climate, water and power. The Detroit native, who grew up in South Bend, Indiana, discovered the GMC motor home when she was 11 years old. She remembers when they first appeared on the market. “It was so futuristic looking. When you saw them, it was a rarity. They were not cheap,” Breen remembered. “My parents said, when they retired, they would get a GMC motor home and travel the U.S. Who knew they would only be around five years?” That’s right. The GMC motor homes

were only produced from 1973 to 1978. The RVs were designed with contemporary styling and large windows and built in Pontiac. There were four models named after national parks: Canyon Lands, Glacier, Painted Desert and Sequoia. Breen and her family eventually moved back to metro Detroit, settled in Warren and in 1980 Breen graduated from Mott High School, which is now Warren Mott. According to Breen’s findings, the GMC motor home was the only motor home produced by a car manufacturer and was considered to have been “ahead of its time.” “The technology of the front wheel pin allowed it to be lower to the ground,” Breen said. She also discovered almost 13,000 GMCs were produced from 1973 to 1978, and over 8,000 are registered. While the majority of GMC motor home owners are in the U.S., there are also owners in Canada, the U.K., Australia, the Netherlands, Venezuela and other parts of the world. The vehicles were produced by GM Truck and Bus at the site that is now M1 Concourse, Breen said. Because 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the GMC, the international club, GMCMI, is planning a fall convention in metro Detroit culminating with a caravan through Pontiac to M1 Concourse. “We are expecting approximately 100

GMCs to participate,” Breen said. Through her on-the-road ventures she has crossed paths with other GMC motor home owners. “They are salt-of-the-earth people,” Breen said. “They’re super helpful. Everyone is always willing to help out.” Breen is a bit of a vehicle collector. She owns a 2013 Volkswagen Golf R, which is her car and a rare production vehicle. She also owns a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 and a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet “Epilog” edition, which she said is the last year of the German-produced Beetle. Breen, a data factory communications lead with Ford’s Global Data Insight and Analytics division, volunteers throughout the community, including with M1 Concourse in Pontiac and the GMC Great Lakers club. The ardent camper is a board member of the GMC Great Lakers, where she is the editor and publisher of the club’s newsletter. The Great Lakers was the first GMC club chapter, formed in January of 1976, according to Breen. In addition “there are a few very active GMC Facebook groups providing lots of information and camaraderie.” For more information on the GMC Great Lakers, visit gmcgreatlakers.org. The GMC Motorhomes International website is gmcmi.com. The Facebook page is called GMC Great Lakers Motorhome Club (1973-1978).

rents coming from fire hoses. The family who lived there wept and embraced as their home — and all the precious memories and irreplaceable mementos inside — were destroyed. The home was occupied by Heidi Brandt, a widow, and her three children. At press time, a GoFundMe page had been established to help the family and their pets. The page is called The Brandt Family Fire Relief and has a goal of raising $100,000 for the family. Thick gray smoke plumed from the collapsing roof. Each breeze sent a wave of hot air and acrid smoke billowing in the direction of the dozens of nearby residents who gathered across the street to see what was happening. The Brandt family had been out at the time it began. Neighbors said the family was able to safely rescue their two dogs from the home, and Ullery said she saw a firefighter carry a black cat outside to safety, but the fate of two other cats — both of whom were believed to have been on the second floor — was unknown at press time. Ullery said an observant neighbor smelled smoke and called 911. Public safety was called to the scene at around 7 p.m. June 3.

Grosse Pointe City Public Safety Sgt. Christopher Cotzias, the incident commander, said the fire appeared to have started in the attic, although the cause was unknown at press time. “The family was out when we arrived,” Cotzias said. Cotzias said officers attempted to make an interior attack on the fire, but the plaster ceilings started falling on them, forcing them to fight the fire from outside. He said they also tried to ventilate the roof, but then the roof began to give as well. According to the website Zillow.com, the home was built in 1927. While it wasn’t known how much damage the first floor of the home sustained, flames were visible from a first-floor window as of roughly 9 p.m. June 3, suggesting the fire had spread to the first floor. Even after 10 p.m. June 3, the fire still seemed to be raging. Donations for the Brandt family can be made by visiting the GoFundMe page established for them, gofundme.com/f/ the-brandt-family-fire-relief.

‘Three-peat mentality’ solidifies Liggett girls hockey dynasty BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

WOODS — There’s a hockey dynasty emerging in Grosse Pointe Woods. Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett girls hockey had been dominating the Michigan Girls Hockey High School Hockey League Division 1 for back-to-back seasons with state title wins, but there was pressure for a three-peat for Liggett’s 2023 senior class. Like many dynasties, there’s often a defining moment or game that propels the team over the opposition, and for Liggett (20-0-1), that defining moment was a lateseason game against city rival Grosse Pointe South. For two seasons, Liggett was unbeaten during the regular season, and during the team’s quest for another unbeaten year and a third-straight state title, a 1-1 tie with South would be a blessing in disguise for Liggett. “I feel we definitely needed it,” senior captain Morgan Hamilton said. “We definitely needed a little kick in the butt to tell ourselves that we’re not going to win everything and we’re not going to get everything the way we want it to be. I think that really pushed all of us to work harder, have better mindsets going into games and practices, and to play with everything we have and not just for fun.” Just a month later, on March 11, Liggett would meet South in the MGHSHL State Championship Game at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth.

FARMS — Two Macomb Area Conference-Red league titles, three-straight winning seasons and a culture that keeps on growing year after year — Grosse Pointe South’s 2023 senior class did its job and more since first stepping onto the field. “I would say it’s been very successful,” senior goalkeeper Patrick Koeppen said. “We’ve won more games than we lost, and record-wise it’s been very good, but I think I’ve learned a lot, experienced a lot, and made a lot of new friends and got close with people. I think it’s been a very successful past four years here.” The seniors’ high school story ended May 31 in a regional finals loss to Detroit Country Day, one of the top teams in the state, but they made sure their final season was one they’d never forget. For the past three seasons, South’s kryptonite, aside from reaching the regional fi-

nals, was getting past one team who continued to stand in their way — Warren De La Salle Collegiate. In back-to-back seasons, De La Salle outscored South 34-21. Prior to this year, South had failed to make the regional finals since the 2014-15 season, when the team fell to Country Day. But after knocking off Macomb Dakota on its turf to take the MAC Tournament Championship May 12, just before the start of the state tournament, South’s confidence was at an all-time high. Not only did they clear the regional finals drought out of the way, but a 16-6 win over De La Salle on May 25 at Grosse Pointe South High School solidified the legacy of these seniors and took care of some unfinished business in the process. “This class is going to be very hard to replace,” coach Justin Macksoud said. “I say it every year, but this class in particular is going to be extremely hard to replace.

Tim Harris did a grid search in the lake. At 3:35 p.m., Harris located and removed the object — it was found roughly 30 feet from the breakwall, in water that was approximately 7 feet deep. It was turned over to the bomb squad, who took X-rays of the object and determined that it was a pipe bomb. Two MSP officers cut the bomb and neutralized it and then took the bomb with them for additional study. The park was closed and evacuated as a secondary search was launched. Two officers from Grosse Pointe City and one from Grosse Pointe Shores assisted as mutual aid. All buildings were searched one at a time. Officers also searched open areas, docks and dock boxes.

The event is a fundraiser for the pediatric palliative care program at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, which provides comfort and improves quality of life for children with chronic and serious medical conditions. The event, which started in 2019, was founded by Grosse Pointer Claire Sheeren, whose sister, Elizabeth, has an incurable immune disease. Elizabeth has benefited from the palliative program at Mott. “As we begin our fifth event, I am continually amazed by the support of our sponsors and our community,” Claire Sheeren said in a press release. “It has been incredible to see people come alongside others battling complex and chronic diseases. It is deeply moving to witness the impact the funds are having on the families at Mott.” The success of the run — which has raised nearly $500,000 since its inception — has enabled the Sheeren family to create Elizabeth’s Courage Fund at Mott, which supports kids and families receiving palliative care as they battle challenging or terminal medical problems. Check-in will start at 7:30 a.m. June 17, with the run starting at 8:45 a.m. According to a press release, the event “will be a USATF-certified, chip-timed 5K, but walkers and ‘rollers’ are also encouraged.” People can also participate virtually.

Lions’ Ragnow, Brown fish for a cause on Lake St. Clair BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — It was a true matchup of David vs. Goliath on the waters of Lake St. Clair at Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores May 30. Detroit Lions legend Lomas Brown, the charter fishing rookie, went toe-to-toe with Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, the veteran angler. It was a matchup with unmeasurable magnitude, like a goal line play with both sides of the trenches going at it. “I’m in his territory,” Brown said. “Now, this is his natural habitat. I’m like the

city guy being thrown out into the country right now.” The objective was to tally the highest total weight of their catches, which was smallmouth bass, but the mission stemmed far beyond the open waters. In conjunction with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the competition was part of an effort to put a spotlight on Michigan’s charter fishing industry. Especially with Lake St. Clair as a close body of water for metro Detroiters, Michigan fishing offers vast opportunities. “It’s one of the best,” Ragnow said. “Lake St. Clair is a great lake, and the fishing

opportunities all year round are incredible.” The beauty of charter fishing is because it’s an excursion-like service, where boat owners and/or professional fishermen will take people out onto the water to fish, anyone can take part in it. Grab a group of family members or friends and enjoy the weather and peacefulness of the lake. Michigan is widely recognized as one of the best states for fishing, and Ragnow said the experience of charter fishing is unlike any other. “I think charter fishing in general is such an incredible opportunity, especially for people that may not have access to a boat or may not have access to fishing gear and are

interested in tasting the waters and checking it out,” Ragnow said. “Even if you do have access and you want to try something new or learn something because there’s so many different opportunities to learn, and have a great day because at the end of the day, when you’re on the water catching fish or not, it’s going to be a great day.” It was a great day this time, especially for Brown, who bested Ragnow in the competition with the help of his son, Trey Brown, and received a first place “Fishing with a Pro” trophy, sporting a bass on it. Ragnow, on the other hand, received a last-place ring, but hopefully the ring represents foreshadowing

entering the state finals game, Liggett would continue its storied success, earning a 3-0 win and the team’s third-straight title and fourth in school history (the other championship was in 2014). Junior goaltender Brooklyn Peshl, who earned second-team all-state honors, collected another shutout in net, adding to her 1.07 goals-against average and .921 save percentage this season. Junior assistant captain Allie Roth scored the game-winner while juniors Sullivan Estes and captain Sofie Ancona each tallied a goal. Hamilton didn’t have an ideal view at the final buzzer but said it was the best feeling she could’ve ever imagined. “I was in the penalty box for it, but honestly my heart was pounding,” Hamilton said. “I thought I was going to be on the ground having a heart attack. I was in awe, and I was in shock to just think, ‘Wow, we just made history and we just beat Grosse Pointe South,’ who’s our biggest rival, and especially with me being a captain and my first year being a captain and winning that and helping all these girls work as hard as they can and work together.” Hamilton finished third on the team this season in points (32) with 15 goals and 17 assists, and Liggett centers Elle Quinlan, a junior, and Giuliana Lufty, a senior, who are arguably two of the best in the state, led the way on the offensive end. Quinlan tallied a team high in goals (21) and points (40) while Lufty finished second in goals (20) and points (33). Liggett head coach Cassie Jaeckle said the centers served a key role for not just their squad, but their linemates as well. “Every line had a flavor, but if you take it and go down the line of why all these centers were so special, it’s because they covered

so much ice and they were spark plugs for their lines,” Jaeckle said. “When they were on, their whole line was on.” While both major impact players, Hamilton and Lufty led a strong senior core that not only had an unbreakable chemistry, but three-straight titles to their name. Alongside Hamilton and Lufty, seniors Gabriella Noble, Isabel Standish, Emmalyn Stahl and Alexandria Metry have all been a part of the varsity team since their first state title together in 2021. While all leading by example on the ice, the senior class’s off-ice leadership was pivotal to Liggett’s success, including Noble’s transition from forward to defenseman, which Jaeckle said was a championship-winning sacrifice by Noble. “If you want another state championship, you got to follow the lead of your veterans and your seniors, and some of the juniors too,” Jaeckle said. Liggett’s slew of young guns are primed to chase the program’s fourth-straight state title. Liggett’s 2024 senior class includes Quinlan, Roth, Estes, Ancona, Peshl, and juniors Annaclaire Doppke — and assistant captain — and Gabriella Metry. Sophomore Sophia Secco, who tallied 18 points during the season, had a team high four goals during Liggett’s playoff run and paired with freshman Avery Welsh, who finished with 21 points, for a dynamic underclassmen duo. The senior classes come and go, but their impact is long-lasting due to their success and the standard that they’ve set. “If you talk to them throughout the year, they always use the term ‘family,’” Jaeckle said. “It’s just a really close-knit group of kids. You see when they leave that winter sport and go into the spring sport, they follow each other into that sport. They’re just that close.” Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

just the best kids. The parents are amazing. This is just a special group.” There are all-state players across the board with this group, starting with senior captain Griffin Adams, who tallied 50 goals and 72 assists this season. A staple for South lacrosse since his first season, Adams has consistently been a leader both on and off the field for Macksoud’s squad. “He’s the best player I’ve ever coached at South,” Macksoud said. “I’ve never seen a kid make people better the way he does. He’s almost LeBron-esque, because he scores his goals, and he scores a lot, but he gets way more assists than he does goals.” Alongside Adams, senior all-state honorees Harrison Wright, Jack Hannigan and William Rauh continued to impress on the field this season. Rauh led a stout defensive effort with seniors Luke Dixon, Jonathan Klunder, Joseph Labadie and Owen Domzalski that allowed just over seven goals per game during the regular season. Koeppen, who had never played goalie until his sophomore year, sported a 65%

save percentage this season. “Those guys right there saved us on defense this year,” Macksoud said. But the seniors didn’t have all the fun this season, as a freshman phenom caught the attention of South opponents too. Jack Smith eclipsed the 40-goal plateau this season and will be the focal point of South’s offense for years to come. “I heard about Jack all summer long and how skilled he was coming into the year, but what I was most surprised about was his size and athletic ability,” Macksoud said. “I kind of have to look up at Jack a little bit. He’s all of 6-foot and maybe 170 or 175 pounds, and he’s afraid of no one.” Sophomore Richard Linnell was a consistent contributor on the defensive side as well. With almost half the team graduating this season, South will look to its underclassmen and juniors to take the reins next season. “We have 20 seniors, so it’s very easy for the young kids to really look up to us, so we’re really hoping that next year when we leave, that all the kids that are still on the team can be leaders to the new kids coming up in the program so we can keep the culture going,” Adams said.

“What always blows me away is the caliber of the show,” Pecar Lightbody said. “It is a world-class show, and that it is right here and so accessible is pretty remarkable.” About 3,000 people attend each year, Pecar Lightbody said. While parking is available at the Ford House, it does fill up, so attendees are encouraged to park nearby at Grosse Pointe North High School, 707 Vernier Road in Grosse Pointe Woods, where complimentary shuttle rides aboard the Grosse Pointe trolleys will be offered all day. This year’s theme is “Design Revolutions.” “One thing that’s unique is that our theme changes every year,” Pecar Lightbody said. Based on the theme, she said, automotive designers come up with 20 to 25 categories and find vehicles “to tell our story” based on that theme, Pecar Lightbody said. She said attendees will find vehicles from all periods of automotive history this year, as well as forward-looking concept vehicles. “This year, the theme allows us to bring something from every era, along with things from the future,” Pecar Lightbody said. This year’s categories include the 70th anniversary of the Corvette, The Dawn of the Pony Car and Italian Futurism, among others. Dozens of motorcycles from various periods will also be on view. “Each year the EyesOn Design at Ford House is built around a different designoriented theme,” Glen Durmisevich, head of judging, said in a prepared statement. “This makes each show unique. For 2023, the EyesOn Design theme is ‘Design Revolutions.’ The goal is to demonstrate many of the great car designs from the past, present, and future that have changed the look and feel of the next generation of automobile design.

“This is not intended to be an all-inclusive listing of revolutionary designs, but a sampling of some unique design solutions that lead the industry through time,” Durmisevich continued. “Although car design evolved due to many technological, engineering and manufacturing breakthroughs, these won’t be the focus but rather the reasons and enablers that allowed car design to change in the direction set forth by forward thinking design leaders.” In keeping with the theme, this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient is Ralph Gilles, the chief design officer for Stellantis. Gilles will receive this award during a black tie-optional event at 6:30 p.m. June 16 at the Conner Center in Detroit; the cost of a ticket to the event is $225 per person. EyesOn Design at Ford House offers its Private Eyes Brunch from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. June 18 to those who want to have a meal and mingle in a more intimate setting with the designers; the cost for the brunch is $95 for adults and $35 for children younger than 10, and a brunch ticket includes car show admission. Other EyesOn Design events include a 75-mile EyesOn Design driving tour through southeastern Michigan that includes lunch at a surprise location, at a cost of $95 per person; and two design symposiums at $100 apiece that will feature unique vehicles — “Corvette Racing — Clandestined for Speed” from 9 to 11:30 a.m. June 17 at the General Motors Design Dome in Warren, and “Viper Design” from 1:30 to 4 p.m. June 17 at the Stellantis North America Design Center in Auburn Hills. Each year, about 50 vehicles receive awards during EyesOn Design. Pecar Lightbody said, this year, the awards ceremony — which takes place around 1:30 p.m. — will be held near the Ford House entrance, making it easier to find. She said winning vehicles will be moved to this location during the show, so attendees will be able to see See EYESON DESIGN on page 15A

all the winners in one location. The EyesOn Design car show and related events are fundraisers for the nonprofit Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, which is based in Grosse Pointe Park and provides programs and services for blind and visually impaired individuals in the region. The DIO is also the research arm of Henry Ford Health. “The reason it’s so important is because the car show raises money for our work with the blind and visually impaired,” Hessburg said. It’s also a critical fundraiser for the DIO’s biennial research congresses — The Eye and the Chip, about artificial vision, and The Eye, the Brain and the Auto — which take place on alternate years. This year, researchers from across the globe will converge on metro Detroit in October for The Eye and the Chip. The congresses have been taking place for more than 20 years now. Bringing these diverse researchers together has enabled them to share their findings and collaborate, something that has led to important breakthroughs and findings.

“It’s really the world’s leading meeting on this subject,” Hessburg said of The Eye and the Chip. “It’s made a lot of progress.” While he acknowledged much work still needs to be done, researchers have already implanted devices in some patients around the world that have given people who were completely blind some level of vision. It might not yet be anywhere close to that of a typically sighted person, but Hessburg said these devices enable users to detect general shapes and shadows so that they can navigate a room, for example, and not need a seeing eye dog or a cane to get around furniture. “This car show is not just about cars — it’s about restoring sight to the blind,” said Hessburg, who has spent his career as an eye doctor. The Ford House is located at 1100 Lake Shore Road in Grosse Pointe Shores. Tickets to the car show can be purchased at the gate for $35 per person, with free admission for children under age 10 and active-duty military service members with identification. All other events require advance ticket purchase and registration. For reservations or more information, visit eyesondesign.org or call (313) 824-4710. Call Staff Writer K.

City, Park enter into new dispatching agreement BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

CITY/PARK — Grosse Pointe City has inked a new agreement with Grosse Pointe Park to use the Park’s public safety dispatching services for 911 emergency calls. Because the costs for the Park to operate its dispatch center have risen, the City has agreed to pay a larger annual fee for this service. The Grosse Pointe City Council unanimously approved a new dispatching agreement with the Park reflecting an updated cost structure April 17. The new pricing takes effect at the start of the 2023-24 fiscal year July 1. Grosse City Manager Pete Dame said the initial agreement with the Park was for three years and was renewed for another three years in 2017, with automatic annual renewal unless canceled by either community. Because the expenses related to dispatch operations in general — and the cost of personnel in particular — have risen more than the 2% annual increases called for in the 2017 agreement, Dame said Park officials asked last year if they could increase the amount they were charging the City, to

better reflect the City’s actual share of these costs. The new agreement increases the City’s base annual payment to $130,605, with a 3% increase in subsequent years. Without the adjustment, Dame said the base payment would have been $118,943 this year. The extension is for a two-year term, which can be automatically renewed unless either party cancels or both parties negotiate a new deal. “There was a much larger increase (initially) offered by the Park,” said Dame, noting that they were able to come up with an amount that both parties found acceptable. The City has contracted with the Park for its emergency 911 calls since the end of 2013. City officials say they’ve been happy with the service provided by the Park, and it has meant a substantial savings for the City over operating its own dispatching center. “Prior to us entering into this agreement with the Park, we were paying roughly $300,000 (a year) just for dispatch,” Grosse Pointe City Councilman Christopher Walsh said. “And that was in 2013 dollars,” Dame added, as the cost would likely have risen

over the last decade. Therefore, even with the increased cost from the Park, the City cost is “still substantially less than what we were paying (a decade ago),” Walsh said. The Park City Council approved the new agreement with the City during a Park council meeting April 24. Leaders of both municipalities said their 2023-24 budgets reflect the updated dispatch agreement. Dame said all five of the city managers in the Grosse Pointes have talked about further consolidation of emergency dispatching in the future, although nothing had been decided at press time as to what that might look like.

CRIME

WATCH Man arrested after tampering with beverages

FARMS — A 26-year-old Detroit man is said to have tampered with beverages at the McDonald’s at 18201 Mack Ave. in Detroit and then did the same with a water bottle at Village Food Market across the street at around 9:15 a.m. May 29. According to a police report, the suspect poured an unknown substance into beverages in an employees-only area at McDonald’s just before they were going to be served to customers. He is then said to have opened a bottle of water for sale at Village Market and poured something in it that turned the water pink. The suspect told police that he needed to give people “the cure” and was following a directive from his god to add this substance to beverages to heal people. The suspect was cited for retail fraud for taking the water bottle and tampering with it without paying for it, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for a psychological evaluation.

Victim loses thousands to con artist

WOODS — A resident in the 500 block of Heather Lane filed a report with police May 31 after becoming the victim of an unknown con artist or con artists. In February, the victim said she was contacted by an unknown male suspect who claimed he was Todd Sloane, senior vice president of Publishers Clearing House. The suspect told the victim she had won $5.5 million but needed to wire cash to pay for taxes on the winnings before claiming the jackpot. The victim made seven cash transfers over a six-week period totaling $102,000 that were wired to the suspect. In March, the suspect — who police said appears to be

in Connecticut — instructed the victim to purchase and send a Rolex watch to an address in New York. Police said the watch was received and signed for by a different suspect March 21. The victim has since changed all her accounts and gotten an identity theft monitoring service, police said.

Women get into fight at store

CITY — A 43-year-old Harrison Township woman and a 60-year-old Grosse Pointe City woman could be facing assault and battery charges after police said they got into a physical confrontation at The Village Kroger store at around 9 p.m. May 31. A police report states that the fight stemmed from the actions of the daughter of one of the suspects.

Bike reported missing

FARMS — A black Trek mountain bike valued at $800 was reported stolen from near the ticket booth adjacent to the Grosse Pointe South High School football field sometime between 7 p.m. May 31 and June 1, when the owner of the bike remembered that he had left it at the school and discovered it was no longer there. Anyone with more information can call (313) 885-2100.

Bike theft suspects sought

PARK — Three unknown youths are said to have been spotted on a surveillance camera stealing a student’s bike from Pierce Middle School at 15430 Kercheval Ave. at around 4:34 p.m. May 27. The footage was discovered after the victim found that the bike was missing. The case remained under investigation at press time. Anyone with more information can call (313) 822-7400.

Chip theft suspect arrested

FARMS — A 48-year-old Detroit man is facing possible third-degree retail fraud charges after he allegedly stole a bag of Better Made Hot Chips valued at $2.29 from a gas

station at Mack Avenue and Moross Road at around 3:52 p.m. June 1. According to a police report, the suspect hid the bag of chips in his underwear and tried to leave the store but was confronted by a clerk. The clerk is said to have removed the chips from the suspect’s pants, at which point the suspect is said in the report to have “proceeded to fall to the ground in the grocery aisle closest to the exit.” Police found the suspect lying on the floor when they arrived. Police identified the suspect from the medical bracelet on his wrist — he had just been discharged from Ascension St. John Hospital across the street before this incident. The suspect had another warrant against him out of the Farms for third-degree retail fraud from 2022, but police found no prior retail fraud convictions against him. The suspect smelled of alcohol and agreed to take a preliminary breath test, which showed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.264% — more than three times the legal limit for a motorist. He was arrested on the previous warrant as well as trespassing and a new retail fraud charge, a police report states.

Suspect accused of stealing items from store

FARMS — A 33-year-old Detroit woman was arrested after she allegedly stole more than $50 worth of merchandise from a grocery store in the 18000 block of Mack Avenue at around 4:10 p.m. May 30. A police report states that the suspect was detained by store employees after she loaded up a red Door Dash bag with $53.94 worth of items and tried to leave without paying for them. She’s facing possible third-degree retail fraud charges, police said.

Organized retail fraud suspects apprehended

FARMS — Several individuals were taken into custody after police said they engaged in organized retail fraud against

the Rite Aid on the Hill at around 2:32 p.m. May 24. A 47-year-old Warren man, a 52-year-old Detroit man, a 41-year-old Detroit woman and a 40-year-old Detroit man are said to have stolen more than $100 worth of soaps and detergents, as well as iHome ear buds and a bottle of Jose Cuervo, from the store. Three of the suspects were arrested in a vehicle while the fourth suspect, the 40-yearold Detroit man, was located nearby on foot and taken into custody.

Cable cut

CITY — Two unknown suspects in their late 20s to early 30s are suspects in a vandalism case in the first block of Alger Place at around 3 p.m. May 30. According to a police report, the victim’s AT&T fiber optic cable line, which provides internet service to his home, was cut. The victim told police that he believes the line was slashed by employees of a competitor’s subcontractor. Anyone with more information can call (313) 886-3200.

Motorist said to be under influence

PARK — A 32-year-old St. Clair Shores man was arrested after being found dozing behind the wheel of a moving vehicle in the area of Kercheval Avenue and Kensington Road at 8:47 p.m. May 30. Police believe the suspect was under the influence of narcotics at the time; they said they found what appeared to be narcotics inside the vehicle. The suspect could be facing operating under the influence of drugs once results from a toxicology report come back, police said.

Child endangerment alleged

CITY — A woman was cited for child endangerment after police said she left her 3-year-old child unattended in her vehicle while she was shopping at Kroger at around 7 p.m. June 2. — K. Michelle Moran

of sorts for the upcoming season. For now, bragging rights belong to Brown. “He smoked me,” Ragnow said. “But it was great to see the smile on Lomas’ face when he pulled in that fish.” “It might come up in conversation on team trips and maybe this trophy will show up at the first home game,” Brown said. But Ragnow and Brown were fishing for more than just a ceremonial award, for both of their foundations received donations for taking part in the competition. While also receiving donations, Ragnow and Brown were both able to bring light to their efforts with Frank Ragnow’s “Rags” Remembered Foundation and the Lomas Brown Jr. Foundation being discussed all throughout the day with media members. “The ‘Rags’ Remembered Foundation is in honor of my dad,” Ragnow said. “I lost him to a heart attack in college, and it’s a foundation I kind of have always been thinking about throughout my career and finally was able to launch a year ago. It’s able to help grieving families kind of get through their grief through the outdoors. It’s also helping underprivileged kids and underprivileged families have access to the outdoors because I’m incredibly grateful for the way I was raised, and grieving through the outdoors, both two-fold, has been great for me.” Brown then discussed his foundation and the impact it’s made with low-income families, and how his competitive matchup with Ragnow could make for something special in the future. “It’s geared towards helping our youth in the Southeast Michigan area,” Brown said. “I have sports camps and I do educational

camps, and the thing we try to do is make all our programs free to the kids. We never want to put a financial burden on the kids or their families, so we mostly serve the underserved area. I’m just glad my foundation is getting the opportunity to team up with Frank because we’re always looking at ways to try and engage our youth. If I can get them outside, get them fishing, and get them hunting, I think that’s something else to give them an opportunity to do.” It was a special day between the two gentlemen, who have been close since Ragnow was drafted 20th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Although Brown may have bested him on the water, Ragnow said he has admiration for the Lions legend throughout his time on the Lions. “Lomas has just been incredible, man,” Ragnow said, standing next to Brown. “Since day one when I stepped foot in Allen Park, he’s been nothing but supportive, respectful, and a great mentor. I’ve been very appreciative of him because he’s always around the facility and he’s always supporting us, especially us big men, and he knows that the more support we can get the better, so I’m just very grateful to have him throughout my career.” As Brown gave Ragnow a nod and a smile for the recognition, Brown described his relationship with Ragnow as well. Spoiler alert: Brown is desperately hoping for a Lions Super Bowl. “It kind of reminded me of when myself and Kevin Glover were drafted, you know, center and tackle, and it’s kind of that way with him and Taylor Decker, with those guys being so close,” Brown said. “I know the relationship me and Kevin Glover had as a center, and just to see Frank and how he’s come along is just unbelievable the steps he’s made towards being the type of player he is. Hopefully this is the year. Man, we want it.

Officers join chase

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clinton Township police officers were tapped in to help stop suspects on the run from Detroit police on May 9. After reports of a red Honda Civic driving recklessly came in, officers spotted the car on the shoulder of Village Road with an out-of-state license plate. After officers turned on their lights, suspects drove the car toward 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, drove onto the grass outside of a gas station, hit curbs, and drove into a pharmacy parking lot before hitting a lamp post and flipping the car. Officers got the suspects out of the car and arrested them as flames were noticed coming from the vehicle, which was later “fully engulfed in flames.” The car was allegedly connected to a stolen vehicle report out of Detroit, with teen suspects. Police later learned that the two suspects were 11 and 14 years old.

Delivery deception

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On May 5, a man walked into the FedEx store on Gratiot Avenue, showed identification and picked up packages for Ahee Jewelers. A manager later called to inquire about the state of the packages. FedEx told the manager the packages were picked up, but the manager said nobody had the permission to pick up the packages.

Man arrested on warrants found with firearm, body armor

EASTPOINTE — An Eastpointe man was found with a firearm and body armor after being arrested on outstanding warrants, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. On Sunday, May 7, Devonta Moore, 19, was arrested on a felony probation violation warrant as well as other warrants in Eastpointe. When he was arrested, he was found with a firearm and body armor, according to a press release from the Prosecutor’s Office. Moore was charged with felon in possession of a firearm and felon in possession of ammunition, both five-year felonies, and two counts of felony firearm, a mandatory two-year felony. Magistrate Mark Makowski arraigned Moore May 8 in Eastpointe’s 38th District Court. Makowski set Moore’s bond at $200,000 cash or surety. He was scheduled for a preliminary examination at 1 p.m. June 6 in front of District Court Judge Kathleen Galen. “Mr. Devonte Moore is a young man with exponential growth opportunity,” his attorney, Jennipher Colthirst, said in a text message. “He has a lot on his plate right now, but he is looking forward to the day it will all be history.”

Back on Aug. 1, according to Eastpointe police, Moore escaped police custody while being transported after his arraignment at the 38th District Court. Moore was taken into custody during a traffic stop Aug. 4 after Eastpointe police detectives tracked him to Interstate 96 near Brighton.

Roseville man found guilty of 3 counts of criminal sexual conduct with minor

ROSEVILLE — A 59-year-old Roseville man was found guilty on three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor. On Monday, May 15, Mark Boodry was convicted by a jury on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a felony punishable by up to life in prison; and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a 15-year felony. Boodry is scheduled to be sentenced at 8:30 a.m. July 19 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Toia.

Vehicle windows smashed

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:49 p.m. May 3, officers were dispatched to the 51000 block of Shelby Road for a vandalism report. The caller stated that a known acquaintance of hers had come by her residence and smashed out all the windows of her car. Officers located the male suspect nearby. The suspect had cuts on his hands, police said. Police found video footage that reportedly showed the suspect holding a brick in his hand and smashing out all the windows of the car. The suspect was placed under arrest for malicious destruction of property and transported to the Police Department.

Robbery reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:43 a.m. on May 14, a report was made of a robbery that happened the same day in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue. Six officers and a sergeant responded to the scene. Upon arrival, an officer spoke with one of the clerks, a 64-year-old woman, who said a man wearing a black ski mask and a black coat took over $500. She said the man entered the business with his hand in his coat pointing what she believed to be a gun at a clerk. The suspect did not say he had a gun. The suspect said he needed money and started to open the registers and take all the money. The suspect then went northbound on Harper Avenue. Officers secured the parking lot with caution tape and waited for a K-9 unit to arrive. The unit was from Warren and the officer called more officers to assist with the track.

The officer was able to view camera footage. The suspect was reportedly seen entering the business, opening most of the cash drawers, taking the bills, calmly leaving the premises and heading northbound on Harper.

Suspected counterfeit bill passed

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:37 p.m. on May 4, a report was made of alleged fraud on the same day in the 22000 block of Greater Mack Avenue, involving an alleged counterfeit bill. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the manager, a 57-year-old woman, who was on a video call with her staff. She said that two male subjects arrived in a black vehicle just before the call. One of them could be seen passing a counterfeit $20 bill to make a $12 purchase for a sweatshirt. The staff said the two suspects have attempted to pass fake bills multiple times at the store, but the staff had stopped them before today. The staff turned over the two suspected counterfeit bills; the first one was a clear fake, and the second was a more sophisticated bill with a brown mark on it. The first was said to be caught by staff at a previous date and no purchases were made with it. The second was used to buy the sweatshirt. The vehicle used was registered to a 29-year-old man who matched the description of one of the subjects. The second suspect who passed the counterfeit bill was unknown.
